Thriving on a cruelty-free vegan diet for over 5,000 years – the Brokpa tribe of Ladakh live healthy, active lives at 15,000 feet.   Barley, their dietary staple, is harvested on steep mountainsides and supplemented with earthen oven-baked roti, lettuce leaves, roasted potato, spring onion, boiled cauliflower, wild mint, almond, apricot, walnut and copious black tea fortified with barley flour.  The Brokpa are known to trek long distances and many tribe members remain active into their 90’s~ petaindia.com/blog/himalayan-tribe-vegan-5000-years
